Sen.

Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said the United States has become "2 Americas," contrasting the combined wealth of the country's richest technology billionaires with the financial struggles many Americans face buying groceries.

In a post on X on Thursday, Sanders said the eight wealthiest men, whom he described as "Big Tech oligarchs," are now worth more than $2.5 trillion combined, while citing a new poll showing 66% of Americans cannot afford groceries.

"We can do better.

We must do better," he added.
